GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHY.

Recent publications in prominent
newspapers evince the fact that some
one is manufacturing sentiment favor
able to the establishment of govern
ment telegraph. lines. That is all very
well so far as it goes, but there is a grow
ing sentiment that this opinion manu-
faeturer is no less person than JAY
GOULD.
After preparing the public mind for
the reception of the scheme he will go
before congress with proposition that
the government purchase his lines, of
course at their present stock valuation
of some SS0,000,0 900. Squeezing the water
out of the Western UniOn.it is the Opin-
ion Of those in position to know that
S20,0O0.000 would be generous estimate
of the company'S legitimate capitaliza-
ton. while experts declare that as extern
Siye a system could be built by the
government for S15.0OO,O0O. So it is a
very profitable little scheme that Mr..
GOULD is preparing.
There is no doubt, as 1NGERSOLL re-
Gently declared, that no more danger
Gus a monopoly could exist than the con-
centration of all the telegraph lines in
the country in one mans hands, and it
is quite probable that the only solution
of the question is in government teleg-
raphy; but if the government does de-
eide to go into the business it should do
it from the start and build its own
lines.
Then with his system Mr.. GOULD
could amuse himself by carrying on a
lively competition that would keep rates
at reasonable basis, and the novelty of
playing the role of public benefactor
would, no doubt. be enjoyed by the
great financier. Whether it would COM
pensate him for his failure to cheat the
government out of trifie of So, 10000
Dir. GOULD alone can say.

SHOT HIS son DEAD.
The Terrible Deed of An Unnat-
uraI Father.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 2o.-Shortly af
ter o'clock this evening P. A. Stout,
stucco worker, living on Pike street,
Allegheny city, shot his son Adolph
through the back, and then attempted
suicide. Adolph died almost instantly.
The cause of the tragedy was domestic
troubles. Stout and his wife frequently
quarreled and the son Adolph, tits said,
took his mothers part. At the time of
the shooting AdOlph. who is twenty
years of age, was playing on the floor
with younger brother. His father en-
tered tina room from a rear door and
fired the fatal shot while the young
mans back was turned. The father
then placed the revolver to his own
breast and fired, but the ball glanced
off the ribs and only made a flesh
wound. He tried to shoot again, but he
was overpowered by policeman who
was attracted to the house by the noise.
He was arrested and is now in Jail.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-The
United States grany jury has found in
dictments against Customs Inspectors
William A. Boyd and Ferdinand d.
Gpro and six other inspectors for il
legally aiding and abetting the landing
in the United States of certain Chinese
persons. The charges are conspiracy
and uttering forged certificates. For
years the custom house authorities here
have been aware that certificates have
been fraudulentIy issued and that a
number of general certificates had been
stolen from the custom office. The col
lector of the port said to-day there is
evidence of long series of frauds, that
at least 800 or 1000 certificates have IL
legally found their way to China and

Trying to Arrange a Programme.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Mr. Carlisle
has almost daily conferences with the
presi dent. There is no doubt that
MIR. Cleveland is exceedingly anxious
that there shall be harmony of action
between the Democratic house and
himself. Mr.. Carlisle concurs in the
vital Importance of this matter, and is
exerting himself to understand just
what the president wants, and to eX-
plain to the president just about what the
house is likely to be inclined to do upon
the most particular topics of the day.
Any failure upon the part of the house
to accord with the president upon mat
tiers of public and party policy will be
owing to the Obstinacy or wilfulneSs OF
some fancy. Mr.. Carlisle has recently
expressed the belief that both wings OF
the party will ''fiop together" during
the Coming session. Indeed. it is be-
lieved by the best friends of Mr.. Ran
dali that, if he refuses to permit the
majority of his party to manage national
affairs. he will certainly commit poiiti-
cal hari-kari.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.-The two

several days been attracting consider

the board of health yesterday afternoon
and gave themselves into the charge Of
Health Officer Patterson. The latter had

the board of health shall take some ac-

woman is Mrs. Z. Miranda and the
child's name is Anita. aged nine years.
The mothers case is particularly bad
one, but both she and her daughter are
so badly afflicted that they are COM

virtually outcastS. Mrs. Miranda left
this city and went to New York, where
she took passage on the steamer for

and her little girl were obliged to disem-

them ashore in Brazilian port. She
determined at once to come back to this
city. and arrived at Broad street station
yesterday morning. Prior to sailing for
Brazil the pair was under the care of
DIR. Van HOrbugin, and the physician
still claims that the health authorities
have no jurisdiction in the case. These
leperS are the first persons afflicted with

Philadelphia, and the disease is such a
rare one that there is no precedent to

Cincinnati's Coal Supply Getting
Very Short.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 20.-The present
stock of coal in Cincinnati is half
million bushels, while the usual stock
at this time is three or four million
bushels. The low stage of water in the
Ohio river, which is the chief source of
supply for soft coal, makes it impossible
add a bushel in that way to the stock.
The railroads are not at all prepared to
supply such vast quantities as are con-
sumed here daily, though in case there
is not very soon rise in the river their
equipment will have to be enlarged to
prevent actual distress. Manufacturing
establishments are now in trouble over
the short allowance and high prices,

WON'T LET THEM REST.
The New York Central Labor
Union Still Talking of Dead An

archiStS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-At to-day's
meeting of the Central Labor union a
motion by the building trades section
to revoke the resolution passed at a
former meeting, which expressed SYM
pathy for the Chicago anarchists, was
tabled. The Musical union was expelled
for refusing to order out the orchestra
of the Union Square theater, where nom
union carpenters are employed. The
committee who visited Gov. Oglesby on
behalf of the condemned anarchists re-
ported. They said that what Gov.
OgleSby had told them had given them
the impression that he would pardon all
the condemned men, and they were
astoniShed at the result. After heated
debate it was resolved to continue the
committee for the purpose of arranging
an entertainment for the benefit of the
executed men. The vote was 60 to 80.
The building trades strongly opposed
the continuance. A motion to denounce
the United Labor party for expelling j.
A. Bogert, for alleged treachery at the
polls, was so strongly opposed that the
socialistic faction which made it, with
draw it.

= WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-COngressman
Macdonald has had several conferences
with the president recently, but it is i'm
possible to obtain any information from
him concerning their nature. The fact
of his visits he does not deny, nor does
he attempt to conceal the evident graft
fication resulting therefrom; but the
subject matter he keeps to himself al
most. austerely. 1t is more than likely,
however. that some conclusion is being
reached in the matter of the patronage
of his district. The postOffice at North
field still haugs fire, and it is possible
that this important Office is one OF the
subjects upon which conversations are
had. However, it is mere conjecture.
Although the papers in the case are
held inviolate, as under lock and key, it
is believed that Judge Macdonald has
recommended Mayor Kennedy. Indeed,
it is asserted by friend of Mr.. Kennedy
that Judge Macdonald promised his
recommendation to that gentleman.
Ordinarily it would seem that the rec
OmmendatiOn of the Democratic con-
gresham would be potent, and it. is
conjectured by certain parties that
possibly Macdonald has changed his
mind and concluded to recommend some
one else. This is suggested as posi-
BILE solution of the cause of the delay in
the case. On the contrary, it is limited
that some one else has made a recon-
mendation, and that this other recon-
mendatiOn is causing delay. The
friends of the congressman assert that
he never makes promise except upon
mature deliberation, and that he always
keeps his word. If any one but Mayor
Kennedy should be appointed it is more
than likely that Judge Macdonald
would be called upon for an eXplana-
ton of the case. Those who know him
best believe that he would be able to
make his course satisfactory to all con-
cerned i'm his EXPLANATION

THE DIFFUSION PROCESS.
1t Is Working Successfully at New
Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20.-At the gov
ernment's diffusion experiment station
on YARMOUTH Magnolia plantation
preliminary test was made Friday on
sixteen sticks of sugar cane. The cut
tiers worked reasonably well, and with
a little alteration made yesterday will
run admirably. The diffusion batteries
worked entirely satisfactory. No spe-
cial effort was made to get an eXtraOr-
dinarily good extraction. but 9S per cent
of the sugar in the cane was obtained,
which percentage, with the cane used,
polarizing 1876, will give practical
yield of 220 pounds of sugar per ton.
The carbonization process will probably
not begin for week. j. s. Maus, pres
ident of the Dudley Sugar company, of
Dudley, Kan; E. w. Denning, secre-
tary of the National Sugar association;
Santiago bod, of Cuba, and other prom
inent sugar men arrived this morning.
1t is expected that in about week
everything will be in full operation.

law is probably on a par with other dis
